Zoonosis is used to describe disease that has the potential to naturally transmit from vertebrate animal to man. This can also go vice versa whereby disease can transmit from man to animal which is known as reverse zoonosis[1]. Over the last decade, about 75％ of zoonotic pathogens have been documented in human arising from animals or animal products[2]. In the developing countries, about 20％ of human sickness and death are due to endemic zoonosis[3]. A subset of zoonotic infectious diseases is referred to as neglectedzoonotic disease and mainly affects poor populations that are in close proximity with domestic or wild animals especially in situations where health and sanitary measures are poor[4]. The disease is termed neglected because in recent years especially in developing countries, attentions are focused on other diseases that are considered important such as HIV/AIDs, tuberculosis, and malaria. Moreover, ineffective diagnostic capacity and poor health care delivery systems may also attribute to underestimation of disease burden[5].
